Gu Ci had stayed at Pei's house many times before.
Her room still exists today, and nothing in it has been moved. Someone cleans it every once in a while.
It’s not because they kept it on purpose, but because over the years, not many guests have come to stay at the Pei family’s house.
Upon hearing this, Gu Ci subconsciously glanced at the two figures standing not far away.
Under the halo of the incandescent lamp, the two men had slender figures and perfect faces without any flaws, and they looked a perfect match no matter how you looked at them.
A tiny but very sharp thorn suddenly pierced her heart.
A subtle and hard to ignore pain arises.
She suppressed the discomfort and shook her head gently, her smile still gentle and soft, "Thank you for your kindness, grandma, but... it's not convenient now.
I need to go back to the hospital tonight. Next time, when I feel better, I will come back to chat and have dinner with you."
Meng Sheng was listening nearby, raising his eyebrows slightly.
inconvenient……
What is inconvenience?
Is he saying that her current identity is inconvenient because she is no longer Pei Sui's legitimate fiancée?
It's a double entendre.
The old lady sighed, "It takes more than two hours to get back to the south of the city. You are such a straightforward child that you even made a special trip back. You are the one who is tired."
"Grandma, I don't like what you said. I've received a lot of teachings from you since I was a child. If I don't come to your 80th birthday, wouldn't I be ungrateful?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! I know you have a good heart."
Gu Ci smiled and hugged her, "Grandma, please take care of yourself. Next time I want to see a healthy and energetic grandma."
The wrinkles at the corners of the old lady's eyes deepened when she heard this. "Okay, okay. It's still raining, so be sure to pay attention to safety on the road. Drive slowly. When you get there, remember to call me back. I'll be relieved when I know you've arrived safely."
Gu Ci stopped her, "Oh, I understand. Grandma, please don't go out. You can't stand the cold, otherwise your waist and legs will hurt again when you sleep at night."
The old lady stopped and said, "It's been so many years, it's amazing that you still remember it."
Liu Lingyi smiled and said, "Old lady, you are right. Ah Ci grew up under your lap. She was always worried about your health when she was receiving treatment abroad all these years. She was always thinking about you."
"Good boy."
The old lady exchanged a few words with Liu Lingyi, then raised her hand and called the brothers Pei Yu and Pei Sui to personally escort the Gu family out.
Meng Sheng didn't follow them and stayed in the flower hall to talk with the old lady and Aunt Pei.
When the group walked to the towering red gate, Gu Ci looked back at them with a faint smile.
She whispered softly, "Brother Yu, Asui, it's raining heavily outside. You two shouldn't come out. You must be exhausted today. Go back and rest."
Pei Sui didn't say anything, but Pei Yu didn't let her words fall to the ground.
While they were talking, Gu Ci looked at Pei Sui, whose brows were cold and his expression was indifferent, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.
It felt like a hole had opened in my heart, allowing the early summer wind and rain to pour in.
It filled her heart, making it sink lower and lower.
After saying goodbye, she looked at the car window blurred by the rain, and a faint halo appeared in her eyes.
It seems that she has to stop for a while. Otherwise, if she continues like this, no matter how many tricks she uses, Asui's heart will only drift further away from her.
Because they lived far away in Qingling City and seldom came to Jing City in a year, the old lady kept the Cui family members in the old house for two more days.
Cui Zhengqing and Cui Xueying, brother and sister, were worried because Cui Xueheng's physical condition had not fully recovered yet. They also had something to say about Pei Sui and Meng Sheng.
It’s just not appropriate to talk about it today, so I just agreed.
Seeing Pei Sui and Pei Yu return, the old lady smiled and said to the Cui family, "You have worked hard all day and didn't take a break at noon. I'm sure you are exhausted.
Ayu and Huanhuan have already prepared the room for you to rest in. It's in the fifth courtyard. Ayu, take your uncle and aunt down to rest."
Only Cui Xueheng and Pei Huan live in the fifth courtyard now. There are many empty rooms inside, which makes it convenient for them to live there.
Pei Yu nodded, "Uncle, aunt, let's go."
After most people in the room had left, Meng Sheng drank a cup of tea with the old lady. When he put down the teacup, he secretly poked Pei Sui's waist.
Pei Sui accurately grasped her rebellious hand and glanced at her sideways.
Meng Sheng pulled it out, but didn't pull it back, so he signaled to him with his eyes that he could speak.
Pei Suitai led her to the old lady naturally, "Grandma, it's getting late, let's go back."
The old lady tried to persuade them to stay, "It's already eight o'clock. By the time you get back it will be past ten. The rain is getting heavier. Why don't you stay home for one night? Traveling during the day is always safer than traveling at night."
Pei Sui was afraid that she would find it difficult to refuse, so he took the initiative to say, "Grandma, we don't have any spare clothes for her here, it's not very convenient."
"That's not that difficult. Just ask someone to send a few sets over."
The old lady immediately called the nanny who was taking care of her and asked her to call someone to send over some clothes.
Knowing that the old lady was reluctant to let them go, Meng Sheng couldn't refuse.
After sitting here for more than half an hour, the rain outside really got heavier.
Dark clouds rolled like ink, and occasionally a pale lightning would tear the sky apart, illuminating the skeleton of the rain curtain. The fragrance of locust flowers in the air, wrapped in a fresh and elegant scent of soil, permeated the long corridor.
The distant thunder turned into a series of vague roars.
On the way back to Zhishuiju, Meng Sheng suddenly stopped, and Pei Sui also stopped and asked her, "What's wrong? Are you afraid of thunder?"
"No."
She shook her head and smiled, "I just remembered that the last time we came to the west of the city together, we were also stopped by the rain."
Pei Sui was stunned.
Last time you came to the west side of the city?
It was the time when he took her to Pei Huan to test the fruit tea. On the way back, they had to park the car at the foot of the mountain because of heavy rain.
As he recalled it a little, the fragments of that day flashed into his mind like a slide show.
He now remembered the throbbing feeling that he had ignored.
The corners of his lips curled slightly, and he whispered, "Well, but the rain today is different from the rain that day."
At that time, she was still someone else's wife.
Now that she was standing beside him, he could hold her hand with justification, and even hold her in his arms with good faith.
Even without the roles of principal and agent, they are still lovers.
no the same?
Meng Sheng was a little confused.
She looked at the rain in the courtyard and thought for a few seconds, "Hmm... there was no lightning or thunder that day, and the rain seemed to be lighter than that day."
Pei Sui's eyes twitched slightly when he heard this.
He looked at her helplessly, then nodded after a while and said, "Yeah, it is true."
There is nothing wrong with what he said.
Meng Sheng heard the teasing tone in his three simple scales, glared at him unhappily, and started walking towards Zhishuiju again.
